Document Summary

The magnetic flux of the field the area vector rule. Usually we"ll be interested in the magnetic flux through a loop of wire. A determines the orientation around the edge according to the right-hand. You can change the magnetic flux by changing the area of a loop, changing the magnitude of the magnetic field, or changing the angle between the magnetic field vector and the area vector. Faraday"s law of induction says that a changing magnetic flux will induce an emf in a loop of wire. This induced emf will cause current to flow in the wire. The relationship between flux and emf is: induced d . The minus sign in faraday"s law reminds us that the induced current will create a magnetic field that counteracts the change in flux. One strategy for using lenz"s law is as follows: choose your area vector to point in the same direction as the original field, this way, the flux will be positive.
